[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This area is just so expensive, so we are in the same boat as you.  I'm actually staying home right now, and only working part time, b/c daycare is too expensive.  There is light at the end of the tunnel.  Once the youngest is in k, I will go back, and we will start putting more into savings.  Hang in there.[/quote]

Same here. We did the math and daycare + add'l costs commuting to/from daycare wasn't that much less than my pay. It was easier to just stay home. The sad thing is the perspective that I have of what life was like before we moved to DC. Imagine renting a 4 bedroom house in a Chevy Chase-type neighborhood for $1100 a month. Our version of rush hour was the Beltway at two in the morning on a Wednesday. We came here to have a "city life" and within a year we were having a baby. Since then our bank account is a revolving door. I don't even see the point of direct deposit. Just give it to all of the bill collectors and cash us out with the difference. There should be enough for a latte in there. [/quote]
